DFW RC - Home of BYSRacing

yeah that turned out dope!

I need to pick up some fine line tape, paint, and an exacto knife so i can mask off the K5 for paint...

 

Oh, the main. The one ash won’t stop talking about being the BYS champion. You mean, that main?

 

Id post the timing sheet but it doesnt look pretty for us

 

Nothing to be ashamed of!! I choked like a champion in the main!! I’m missing either the first or second qualifying times..

 

haha damn. Im thoroughly surprised I qualified 3rd.. immediately went to the back by turn 1 though and stayed there.

I wonder how it would have looked if it wasnt a mixed 1/10 ebuggy and SCT class race.

 

Would have def been more fun. Mixing it up makes it the same as just practice IMO.

 

So it looks like most laps and fastest time wins?

 

Friday night racing is coming up, who is in?

 

Time to build some Subi rally shocks

 

Dont know if ill make fri but im planning on going tuesday for sure

Im out NYE weekend so its this next week or bust

 

Boom!

 

ahh yeah that looks race ready! Grab a amb MyLaps RC4 transponder and youre ready to go

 

Hell yeah!!

 

Already dirty!

 

Traded someone my Rock Rey for it. Stoked

 

You bringing that to Indy today?

 

Found this interesting read:

Not exactly. Since we're talking Castle products here, I'll quote their website.

"High power capability brushless systems can act very differently than brushed systems and even differently than other brushless car systems. Where you used to approach gearing from a sense of managing the torque of the motor (smaller pinion gives the motor more torque), in this system you’ll need to look at gearing only as a simple matter of top speed at full throttle. For example: If you are not able to get up to full throttle on the longest straight at the track (car is too fast) you should gear down to the point at which you are actually using the whole range of the throttle trigger including full throttle at times. If you never get to full throttle, or have to dial down your throttle EPA, you are running the system hotter and with less runtime than you could have if you geared down. So again, think of gearing only in terms of what speed you can actually use at full throttle.

A high power capable brushless motor in electrical engineering and physics terms, has unlimited torque. We live in “the real world” so technically for us that’s not totally true, but – a brushed motor has a torque level that due to its design has an upper limit, regardless of how much power is being applied to it. That limit is low enough that you can see it clearly on an average track. On the other hand, a high power brushless motor’s limit to torque in an RC vehicle is not within the bounds of the motor itself so much, but rather falls on the ability of the battery to deliver current to it. We generally don’t describe these motors in terms of “one has more torque than the other,” but rather “the 7700Kv motor is faster and draws more current than a 5700Kv motor in the same vehicle." It draws more current, because it’s making the car go faster and doing more work than the 5700 motor is. As long as the batteries used are very good at supplying current without an excess of voltage depression (low internal resistance is good) both motors will appear to have the same torque, even though one is much faster than the other. Battery technology is constantly improving, and the first thing you’ll notice when you use a very good battery pack (or perhaps trying a Lipo pack for the first time) with these systems is a more “punchy” feel when you accelerate. The faster you set up the car to go at full throttle, the more reliant you are on good batteries to flow that current into the motor and maintain acceleration performance. So think of torque as a function of battery capability only.

You may have noticed we didn’t introduce many “don’ts” in the manual for these systems. The power capability for the ESC and motors during our development tended to be well beyond what most users would ever dream up for realistically driveable gearing options. The only real upper limit to gearing is the temperature of the motor. As long as the motor is less than 200 degrees F (would burn your finger almost instantly) at the end of the run, you’re OK."

 

It’s friday bitches!!! Whos ready to turn left??! Baby girls good to go! Not sure what other mods could be done at this point! BYS Racing is in full effect!!

 

Looks like they’re open Tuesday. I’ll prob be there all day and race that night.

 

sounds like a plan.. will have to bring a cooler with refreshments and food.
